If you’ve dreamed of having the high-tech home of the future, there was no better place to get a glimpse than at LA’s Soho House, where Time Warner Cable debuted its “Signature Home.”
Guests including Molly Sims and Rose McGowan along with hundreds of otherVIP attendees were able to get up close and personal with the new technologies at a cocktail bash that benefited Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles.
People crowded around to get the experience of home 3-D television with special glasses that took you right onto the field of a football game that was being shown. The glasses are not the flimsy type you get at movie theaters. The feature an on/off switch that turns on the third dimension, although at this point in time, only a few channels– mainly sports–broadcast in 3-D.
The cable company also set up interactive displays of its new technology package, which included remote home security camera and system checks, 180 channels of video, an iPad™ app, digital phone, plus a bounty of additional added value items and what it calls “white-glove” customer service — seamlessly networking 3-D television, gaming and more.
“Signature Home” is now available in Southern California, but it doesn’t come cheap, running about $200 a month as an upgrade for Time Warner cable subscribers.
But you get a lot, including a personal services advisor who will make sure that your residence is wired up properly to take advantage of all the services, including being able to DVR up to four channels at a time.
There is also the ability to watch prime time shows up to 72 hours later, even if they are not previously recorded on a DVR, to ensure that you never miss your favorite shows.
